04/03/2012 NFL Note - Buffalo Bills Parrish, Roscoe

WR Roscoe Parrish has agreed to a contract with the Chargers, according to ProFootballTalk.com.

The seven-year veteran played in just two games last season before suffering a significant ankle injury. A solid return man, Parrish has struggled to become a consistent threat on offense during his career.

The 5-foot-9, 175-pound former University of Miami star has 134 career receptions for 1,502 yards and seven touchdowns, primarily as a slot receiver.

NFL Note - New York Giants Cruz, Victor

WR Victor Cruz may be one of the most underpaid players in the NFL at the moment, but don't expect him to be a camp holdout. "That's not even in my vocabulary," Cruz told the New York Post Tuesday. "I don't even know what that means." Cruz was third in the NFL in receiving last season, with 82 catches for 1,536 yards. However, he is scheduled to make just $540,000 in 2012, the final year of his contract before he becomes a restricted free agent.
